FEBRUARY is Go RED for WOMEN

February 1 is Red Dress Day for the cure of heart disease. Help us raise awareness as the chamber steps forward to help with this cause. I personally was born with issues with my heart and my mother at the young age of 40 had a mild heart attack.So the heart disease is a major issue for me. Latina women are a huge number of women with this silent killer. 

So let's get together and help raise funds for a great cause. 
Final venue , date and time will be announced on next weeks newsletter so save the date! FEB 1 2013
